Ruined Remains of Nether Knox
Nether Knox, Gourdon Taken from the Johnshaven to Gourdon footpath. There is another photograph taken in January 2006 showing this as a ruin. Think this may have been a mill or  barn as the farmhouse is to the left. Glad to see it has been restored. Passed this on the main road and it looks fabulous, a very good restoration.
